Before Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick were the toast of Broadway, Robert Morse and Tony Roberts starred as Daphne and Josie in “Sugar,” the musical version of “Some Like it Hot.” Produced in 1972, it was nominated for four Tonys, including Best Musical. Morse and Roberts were reunited for this performance at Carnegie Hall which opened “My Favorite Broadway: The Leading Ladies.” If Lane and Broderick are looking for another show to star in together, they should seriously consider reviving “Sugar” because it is hysterically funny and they could have a field day with it. I saw a production in the late 1970’s at the Music Circus in Sacramento starring Soupy Sales and Ken Berry, and it was one of the funniest shows I have ever seen.
